Wow. Ice water in his veins. Austin Rivers. Freshman. Top rated in the US coming out of high school. Dad is Doc Rivers, coach of the Celtics.

6' 4" 190 lbs.

Wants the ball in the clutch. Reminds me of Jordan doing that as a sophomore in the NCAA championship game.

First loss for UNC at home in 31 games. They led by 10 with 2 minutes left.

The kid did it all in high school too. With these kind of winners, you look at the record, and they had it way back.

Youtube ... Pretty cool event.



Doc in the stands watching ... Very cool stuff. The kid drains 29 points, and the killer shot as the clock nears 1 second left.

CNN article on the game ... I enjoyed reading about Doc Rivers' reaction ...

Wikipedia on the kid's record so far ...

The next Michael Jordan? LOL Yeah Yeah ...

Hey, I'm a Duke fan too. And NCAA basketball is awesome. Much better than NBA in my opinion.
